Great to meet you!

You may be successful, dependable, and used to taking care of everyone around you, yet privately feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally lost, or just not "yourself". I provide a warm, nonjudgemental, and supportive space where you can feel heard and make YOUR mental health a priority. I am a doctoral-prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides both psychiatric medication management and talk therapy. I have 20 years of experience in healthcare, but over the last few years I have pivoted my focus to individuals balancing demanding careers with personal responsibilities or navigating life altering change.

My approach to therapy

My approach is practical and personalized, rather than focusing only on symptoms, I take time to try to understand you as a whole person--work relationships, stress, sleep, physical health, lifestyle, and all the experiences that shape how you feel.

What you can expect from me

Beginning with our first appointment, my goal is for you to feel like you are participating in a partnership. You can expect open communication and evidence-based care to develop treatment plans shaped around your individual needs, values, and goals.
